SEN Learning Support Assistant (LSA) - Leigh-on-Sea

Are you a compassionate and high-energy individual looking to work in the heart of one of Essex's most charming coastal communities?

We are seeking a dedicated SEN Learning Support Assistant to join a "salt of the earth" school team in Leigh-on-Sea.

This role is for someone who understands that working with children with SEND is about more than just academic support-it's about providing a safe, happy, and predictable foundation for them to grow.

The Role & Rewards

• Location: Leigh-on-Sea, Essex
• Pay: £90 - £100 per day
• Hours: 08:30 - 15:30 (approx.), Monday to Friday

What We Are Looking For

Leigh-on-Sea schools are known for their community feel and "everyone mucks in" attitude. We need someone who fits that culture:

• Relational Expertise: You thrive on building deep, trusting relationships with young people. You see the person before the diagnosis.
• Proactive & Resourceful: You don't wait for a lesson plan to fail; you anticipate needs, adapt sensory tools, and find creative solutions on the fly.
• Positive Role Model: You are a beacon of positivity. Even on challenging days, you remain a happy, stable, and encouraging presence for children who need that consistency.
• Personal Care: You are comfortable and professional when assisting with personal care (toileting, feeding, or changing), ensuring that every child's dignity is the top priority.

The Impact You'll Have

• Helping students with a variety of needs (ASD, ADHD, SEMH) engage with their peers and the curriculum.
• Transforming "barriers to learning" into "pathways for success" through your resourcefulness.
• Being part of a collaborative staff room that feels more like a family than a workplace.

How to Apply

If you are ready to be the positive role model these children deserve in the beautiful setting of Leigh-on-Sea, please get in touch today.
